As can be expected in real estate, I’m often approached by people who see me as a “real estate guy” (sounds better than “slumlord,” which cops love to call me — I own nothing in the slums, promise). I’m often asked about how I did it, how I do it, what I’m going to do next, etc.
I’ve come to learn that while every so often someone will actually be interested in my story, the overwhelming amount of people really want to know how they can do it. They want to know the secret. The foolproof way to make lots of money. It’s interesting to hear about how a blue collar worker was able to get into real estate investing without a background in it…
